Social Stories

These “Social Stories” ™️ are written to help support children understand what to expect at our school’s upcoming social event.

A Social Story is best read before the event in a calm time in which it can be easily processed. Some kids may enjoy reading it multiple times. While, children of all ages may benefit from a Social Story, others may not want to read it. This is ok. Note that Social Stories do not state that children “must” do something or assume children “will” feel a certain way. Instead, they give kids an idea of what to expect in a social situation and  may provide ideas on how they can feel comfortable during the event. 

The social stories provided here are currently written by a Countryside parent and licensed Speech Therapist (B. Harmon, MS, CCC-SLP).
